Pull school: Virtual Tanking

I think of this trick as virtual tanking… it is really virtual crowd control.
Let’s say you are murderizing some Defias in a small town somewhere. Suddenly a second one spots you.
Oh NOES! You are not ready for a second one. And that fire ball looks like it will hurt. No problem!
Hah! Safe. But wait he is coming this way. How about we give him a target again?
That is it. I hop back out and you stop right there and waste a couple seconds trying to cast a fireball.
Denied!
No, don’t come over here. Stand there and cast some more. I am not done with your friend.
I love it when the fall for the same trick a second time…
Almost done with your friend.
Come on over.
Your turn!
LOS interupts are so much fun!

It is a handy trick to use when you are leveling a DPSer. Since while leveling very few classes have a ranged interupt or a ranged CC and many can’t handle getting nuked by a caster while fighting another for very long. The trick is to start the pull very near a corner. It works best while solo since it is so timing dependant that someone else will usually mess it up.

You can do it with a fast casting ranged attacking class to kill a caster at range while taking no damage. All you need is an attack that casts or fires faster than the primary attack of your target.
